Effect of process conditions on the properties of castor oil maleate and styrene copolymer produced by bulk polymerization

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of process conditions on the chemical characteristics and yield of polymers based on castor oil was evaluated, and a wide range of molecular weights (Mw from 15,809 to 38,656) could be produced, with dispersity ranging from 2.0 to 4.8.

Phosphorus-based fatty acid methyl esters.

TL;DR: A base-induced dehydrochlorination reaction using ArPCl2 and hydroxy-terminated fatty esters resulted in metastable diester for which hydrolytic cleavage undergo phosphine oxidation and expulsion of one fatty chain, and ArPOCl2 provides stable, phosphorylated fatty acid diesters.
